Don asked: Hi there, I have just purchased the Genius Symbols e-book, which is great. I am having trouble relating to the symbol of the alien. Its not that I don't believe in aliens I just am not drawn to them in any way. I don't read sci-fi and Im not interested in outer space. So as a metaphor it is something I don't relate to. Must I use this symbol?

I'm sure you've heard the phrase that if you ask a stupid question, you get a stupid answer.

Conversely, if you want genius answers, you need to learn how to ask genius questions.
